      Preface

      Creo Parametric 3.0 is a parametric, feature-based solid modeling tool that not only unites the three-dimensional (3D) parametric features with two-dimensional (2D) tools, but also addresses every design-through-manufacturing process. The continuous enhancements in the software has made it a complete PLM software. The software is capable of performing analysis with an ease. Its compatibility with CAM software is remarkable. Based mainly on the user feedback, this solid modeling tool is remarkably user-friendly as compared to its previous versions and it allows you to be productive from day one.

      To support education, PTC gives free educational version of the Creo to students with a license of 1 year. You can get your free version of software by visiting the following link:

      The options in the File menu are used to perform operations related to files; refer to Figure-14.

      The options in the File menu are discussed next.

      New Tool

      The New tool is also available in the Ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar; refer to Figure-15. This tool is used to create a new file. The procedure to use this tool is given next.

      Figure-15.New Tool

      • Click on the New tool from the desired location. The New dialog box will be displayed; refer to Figure-16.

      Figure-16.New dialog box

      • Select the desired radio button from the Type area of the dialog box. The related sub-types will be displayed in the Sub-type area.

      • Select the desired sub-type and specify the name in the Name edit box.

      • For most of the file types, the Use default template check box is displayed. If this check box is selected then the default template is used for creating new files. The units for default templates are in IPS.

      • Clear this check box if you want to select any other template.

      • Click on the OK button from the dialog box. The file will be created and environment related to selected type will be displayed.

      • If you have cleared the Use default template check box then the New File Options dialog box will be displayed; refer to Figure-17.

      • Select the desired template and click on the OK button to create the file.

      The description of various file types displayed in the New dialog box is given next.

      Layout

      The Layout radio button in the New dialog box is used to create new layout files. Layout files are used to create layouts based on the ideas. In the layout environment, we can create 2D sketches, we can import images, we can import and edit other layouts, and so on.

      Sketch

      The Sketch radio button is used to create sketches which are the base blocks for 3D models.

      Part

      The Part radio button is used to create 3D models. There are four sub-types for this radio button; Solid, Sheetmetal, Bulk, and Harness.

      • The Solid sub-type is used to create solid/surface 3D models.

      • The Sheetmetal sub-type is used to create sheetmetal models.

      • The Bulk sub-type is used to create representation of model elements in assembly. For example, you need a generator of specific kind in your assembly but you do not want to model it, then you can save generator in the bill of material (BOM) by making it a bulk part.

      • The Harness sub-type is used to creating wiring in the model. This button is generally active when you are working in an assembly and from within the assembly, you need wire harness or pipe harness.

      Assembly

      The Assembly radio button is used to create assemblies of solid/sheetmetal parts. There are 10 sub-types for this radio button; Design, Interchange, Verify, Process Plan, NC Model, Mold layout, External simplified representation, Configurable Module, Configurable product, and ECAD.

      • The Design sub-type is used to create assembly designs.

      • The Interchange sub-type is used to create a special type of assembly that you can create and then use in a design assembly. An interchange assembly consists of models that are related either by function or representation. You can create both functional interchanges (to replace functionally equivalent components) and simplify interchanges (to substitute components in a simplified
